A Day After His Daughter Was Kidnapped And Returned Home, Deepak Tijori Is Traumatized Angry & Hellbent On Action Against Perverse Elements In Mumbai

“Such things always happen to others. Unless it happens to you, you don’t know it feels. Ever since it happened on Sunday evening my wife and I have been in shock but running to the cops to get them to take drastic action. People have chosen to misconstrue and misrepresent what we’ve gone through. It’s amazing that a stranger could just pick up my child in daylight at 4.45 pm in a city as busy and supposedly efficient as Mumbai …It’s unheard of At that hour Lokhandwala where the incident happened buzzes with hyper-activity. It happened at a shopping centre in Lokhandwala where my daughter was with a friend. The friend was threatened to keep out. Even she is totally traumatized and guilt-ridden about why she didn’t raise an alarm…My wife Shivani had gone with the two girls for lunch. On the way back she left them for fifteen minutes at the shopping centre for window shopping. How could a stranger have the audacity to take my daughter away? The guy didn’t know whose daughter she was. Luckily for us Samara was returned to us physically unharmed, never mind the mental trauma. What about those vulnerable Samaras out there in Mumbai who never return or return damaged for life?…I just want to say one thing…Stop these pokey hotels where such are allowed to happen. The hotel where that motherf…ker took my poor little child must be privy to these goings-on. The hotel knew Samara was 13. They could she was a child. They still gave a room to that fuc..g pervert. Fortunately for us, because Samara was crying and pleading the bastard let her go. But does anyone know what my wife and I went through for those four hours until our daughter came home? Do they know what Samara went through? The monster actually had the guts to drop my daughter back and threatens her father and family with dire consequences before leaving her. He was basically a jerk who thought he’d do things with my daughter. But because she was howling he dropped her back home…Tell me, how could the bloody hotel Mantra Residency let in a man forcing a crying child into their premises? All these shady hotels in Madh Island must be raided. My blood freezes to think how much perversion must be going on in there. My wife and I were unable to sleep even after our child was returned. What if he had harmed her physically? What about those innocent girls who are taken to these hotels? Rooms are let out without asking any question and without even registering the names of the guests! Do you know the man at the counter took extra money from my daughter’s kidnapper and gave him a room without registering his name! I’m grateful to God for sparing my daughter. On Monday afternoon Samara was finally able to give her statement to the cops. But the thought of such hotels functioning in Mumbai is nauseating. Do your business. But please don’t sell away the lives of 13-year olds for a mere 800 rupees. Rooms are let out for half an hour and 45 minutes. What’s going on? Is this what we’ve come to?The scariest part is, this kidnapper intimidated my daughter into getting into an autrickshaw by taking away her phone and slapping her(what was the rickshawallah guy thinking?) and took her to the hotel, illegally booked a room and walked out of back entrance in the hotel that can only be known to regular visitors. I took back my daughter to the hotel with the cops. The Mantra Residency people are now going to the extent of threatening us. But I don’t care. Our citizens need to be protected against such hotels. These places need to be closed down. How many teenagers must have been ruined in these dens of vices? We need to protect our children. Now after what has happened to my child our friends are afraid to let their children out of sight.Why isn’t the law taking the situation as seriously as it warrants? Why hasn’t the hotel staff been grilled when my daughter has identified the hotel and the hotelier has admitted by daughter was brought to his place?Instead the cop was protecting the hotel manager. What-all must be going in that hotel! I’m proud of my child for being so brave.It could’ve damaged her forever. But this racket needs to be busted. I seriously want a Taliban-like punishment for the kidnapper. Behead him in front of all the parents whose children he must have messed around . Just like Qasab should be shot Mantra Residency should be shut.” -Sampurn Media
